After lunch and a short rest, we continued the challenge at two o'clock in the afternoon.
The director held a megaphone and turned his back to the camera: "The task for this afternoon is very simple. You are required to work and earn money."
"Work to earn money?"
The six of them were all surprised; they had not expected such a challenge.
"That's right. You need to make money. As for jobs, you need to find them by yourself. We have no requirements. The time starts at three o'clock and ends at seven o'clock in the evening. We will give each group twenty yuan for dinner, which can also be regarded as your start-up fund." The director took out three envelopes, distributed them, and took out another envelope and handed it to Ouyang Qianran: "Because Ouyang Qianran and Chuchu won the challenge this morning, the reward is twenty more yuan."
Ouyang Qianran looked at the two envelopes in his hands, feeling a little amused. Even if he got a reward, it would only be forty yuan. How could this forty yuan be considered start-up capital?
"No way, it's really twenty yuan, director, are you kidding us? These twenty yuan are not enough for two people to have a bowl of noodles, can you give me a little more?" Liu Xu pleaded.
"No." The director said in a serious tone, "Listen carefully. From 3pm to 7pm, the group that earns the most money before the time is up will win the game. The winner will receive a medal of honor from us, and all the money you earn tonight will be donated in their name to children in impoverished mountainous areas."
Donate all the money earned tonight to children in poor mountainous areas? This has a different meaning.
"Are you confident?" the director asked loudly.
Ouyang Qianran and others said in unison: "Yes..."
The challenge begins.
After the program team brought the six people to a commercial street, they asked them to find a place where they needed a job. Of course, they could also use the 20 yuan start-up fund.
"Ouyang, should we separate or stay together?" Zhao Feng looked at the tall buildings around him and asked Ouyang Yi.
Ouyang Yi was unsure for a moment, and turned to ask Ouyang Qianran: "Uncle, what do you think?"
Ouyang Qianran did not answer but asked: "What kind of job are you looking for?"
"This... I haven't really thought about it. It's not that easy to find a temporary job suddenly. I feel like I'm back to the time when I was looking for a job on the street." Zhao Feng is 35 years old this year. Before becoming an artist, he tried many jobs and finally became a temporary actor. He was appreciated by a director and asked him to play a small supporting role. This is how he officially entered the entertainment industry.
"Yes, it is not so easy for us to find a job temporarily now. We might as well pool all our start-up funds together and see if we can do something." Ming Xiaosheng thought it through very clearly. Of course, the start-up fund of one group is small, but if the start-up funds of the three groups are added together, it will be eighty yuan. These eighty yuan can also do something.
"You're right, I think we can work together. Although it's a challenge, I think we will use all the money for charity in the end. So, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. We might as well work together." Liu Xu put away his signature obscene smile and became serious for once.
"I agree." Chu Chu raised her hand.
Ouyang Yi also nodded, "I agree too."
Zhao Feng said that it was no problem, now only Ouyang Qianran was left.
"Okay." Ouyang Qianran looked at the promotional video of the singing competition playing on the big screen in the building in front of him, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, "I have a suggestion."
"What?" Everyone looked at Ouyang Qianran.
A gleam of light flashed in Ouyang Qianran's eyes, "Performing on the street." They are all celebrity artists and public figures. If they perform on the streets, they will definitely attract a lot of people. Besides, performing on the streets only requires singing and dancing. As far as Ouyang Qianran knew, Ouyang Yi only knew how to dance. As for singing, he had never heard him sing, so he didn't know if he could do it.
When everyone heard Ouyang Qianran's idea, they smiled with satisfaction.
"This is a good idea. We can make money without any cost. This side is the commercial street, and the one next to it is the snack street. We can go to the snack street next door. There is a square over there with a large flow of people." Zhao Feng had been to this place before, so he was very familiar with the nearby terrain.
"Yes, yes, yes, I perform on the streets. Although my singing is not very good, it's still acceptable." Ming Xiaosheng is being modest. He is an actor and also a singer. Although he is not a singer-songwriter, he has released two albums and is considered to be quite famous in the Chinese singing community.
"I agree. Although I can't sing as well as you, I can dance. I can dance with Ouyang." Liu Xu put his arm around Ouyang Yi's shoulder and said with a smile. Ouyang Yi smiled back at him, "No problem, the two of us can do hip-hop."
Ouyang Yi had acted with Liu Xu before, so he knew that Liu Xu could do street dance, and he also knew that Liu Xu was a very good street dancer.
Chuchu also smiled and said, "I can sing, too."
Since everyone agreed, Ouyang Qianran certainly had no objection, so the six of them immediately walked towards the square on the other side of the snack street under the escort of security. There were people coming and going in the commercial street, and Ouyang Qianran and his companions were too conspicuous and were recognized immediately.
"Oh my god, is that Zhao Feng? Ahhhh... Ouyang Yi, it's actually Ouyang Yi. What are they doing? Are they filming a TV series here?"
"Oh my god, I must have not woken up from my nap at noon, I actually saw Ouyang Yi, oh... Buddha, is that the Second Young Master?"
"Ah... I saw Ouyang Qianran. I actually saw Ouyang Qianran. What are they doing? Are they filming a reality show?"
"That's... Ouyang Qianran and Ouyang Yi? Is that them? They are real. I need to take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments. I actually saw them in person today."
"Don't push, don't push, Chuchu, my goddess, I'm coming..."
"Liu Xu and Ming Xiaosheng? Ah, and two Ouyang male gods? What day is today? I actually see them here..."
"Second Master, Master..."
"Ouyang Yi...Ouyang Yi..."
…
The crowd began to get agitated, and many of them seemed to be fans of the six people, so along the way, those fans kept shouting the names of Ouyang Qianran and others. Of course, among the six people, Ouyang Qianran and Ouyang Yi are the most popular. His popularity was so overwhelming that he caused screams from his fans on the street along the way.
Many people have already started calling their relatives and friends to inform them.
"Hello, little sister? Come over to the snack street quickly. Ouyang Qianran is here to film a reality show."
"I'm not lying to you, it's really Chu Chu, as well as Ouyang Qianran and Ouyang Yi. They're all here... Don't believe me? I'll send you a photo."
"Brother, come here quickly, your idol is at the snack street. Which snack street? The snack street on the west side of the square. Yes, your master, Ouyang Qianran."
"Hey, Xiaoling, are you still working overtime? Don't worry about it. It's Sunday today and the boss isn't here. Hurry over to the snack street in the west square. Your idol Ouyang Yi is here, and so is my idol Ouyang Qianran. They're here to take a serious show, for real."
"Ouyang Qianran, Ouyang Yi, Zhao Feng, Chu Chu, as well as Liu Xu and Ming Xiaosheng, yes, they are all here, filming."
"Call a taxi quickly, or it will be too late..."
…
When passing by a musical instrument store, Ouyang Qianran suddenly said to Ouyang Yi: "Xiao Yi, give me all your money."
"What do you want the money for? Are you hungry?" Although he was confused, Ouyang Yi gave the money to Ouyang Qianran without hesitation, and Zhao Feng also gave the money to Ouyang Qianran.
Ouyang Qianran took the money and said, "You go to the square first. I have something to do. I will meet you there later." After that, Ouyang Qianran took the money and walked back with the photographer behind him.
"Hey, where is the Second Young Master going?" Chu Chu looked back, but in a blink of an eye, Ouyang Qianran disappeared, and all she saw was the crowd of onlookers.
"He said he had something to do and asked us to go first. Don't worry, my uncle won't get lost." Ouyang Yi was a little helpless. Chu Chu had just spent half a day with his uncle, but his eyes had never left his uncle. How much does he like his uncle! He's such a handsome guy standing here, why can't she see him? Is it just because his uncle is a little more handsome than him?
Several people came to the square of the snack street in the west. Looking at the crowds surrounding them, they told their purpose of coming: to perform on the street.
Ouyang Yi took out a cardboard box from somewhere and asked Chuchu to hold it, and asked her to stand aside to collect the money. Then Ouyang Yi imitated what he saw in the TV series, bowed to the crowd and said, "Dear fellow countrymen, handsome men and beautiful women, we are performing on the street today. Those who have money can support us with money, and those who don't can support us with their presence. We would like to thank you all here first!"
"Ah... Ouyang Yi, so handsome..."
"Street performance? Xiaoyi, dance for a while. I have money..."
"Master Yi, I want your autograph and a photo. How about a hundred dollars?"
"I want to hear Chu Chu sing. Goddess Chu Chu, sing a song for me and I will support you with three hundred Chinese dollars."
"Ming Xiaosheng, sing a song. Sing the most popular song in your album..."
"Strange, why is the Second Young Master not here? Didn't someone just say they saw the Second Young Master?"
"Where is the Second Young Master? I want his autograph..."
"I want to hear the Second Young Master sing. I've never heard him sing before. By the way, can he sing?"
…
The people around began to shout and put forward their own demands. Of course, Ouyang Yi couldn't accept them all, so he had to accept them one by one.
Because the program team stipulated that mobile phones were not allowed to be used, several people's mobile phones were confiscated. Without music, Ming Xiaosheng and others brought out the music by clapping and singing. Ouyang Yi and Liu Xu danced street dance together, with cheerful rhythm and cool dance. Although there was no real music, the people at the scene were still very enthusiastic.
On the other side, Ouyang Qianran, with dinner money and start-up funds for several people, walked into the musical instrument store, and his immediate target was the gorgeous piano placed in the middle of the store.
